Nowadays, it’s of great importance to reduce, reuse and recycle, especially in the clothing industry. Every year, about 80 billion items of clothing are made around the world. That’s enough to fill over a million football stadium. It takes about 800 litres of water to make one pair of jeans. With the water, you can take a shower for 285 times. No wonder the fashion industry is the second largest water polluter in the world. Actually, 95% of thrown-away clothing can be recycled to make something new.
As a new industry, clothing rental is popular among those who want to protect the environment. But is renting clothes more environmentally-friendly than buying them? In an article for Elle, Elizabeth Cline writes that it’s not as sustainable（可持续的） as it seems.
Taking shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented—receiving and returning. Cline writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilos of carbon （碳） each way, and increases up to 50 kilos for rush shipping. However, a pair of jeans bought in a store and washed and worn at home can send out 33.4 kilos according to a study done by Levi’s.”
Then there’s the burden(负担) of washing, which happens to every item when it’s returned. For most rental services, this usually means dry-cleaning, a polluting process. The stain removers （去污剂） used for washing can produce harmful waste and air pollution.
Lastly, Cline fears rental services will increase our liking for fast fashion, because it’s so easy to get clothes. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people think of wasting not a big deal.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them and throwing them away after a few years. However, there’s an even better step—wearing what we’ve already had.

Because of the increase in traffic accidents caused by smartphone use, the traffic police in Wenzhou has begun to give those use smartphones while crossing the street fines (罚款). Is the rule necessary?
There's no need to worry about the fines. I think it's a better idea to let those who use smartphones while crossing the street be responsible for all harmful results. —Daniel. the UK | I think there should be a fine. Smartphone users are often too engrossed(全神贯注的) in videos or games to pay full attention to what happens around. Using smartphones while crossing the street can cause great danger to others. —Monica. Canada |
It's good, but considering the number of people walking in the street, it's difficult for police officers to notice who's using his smartphone. In my opinion, it's also necessary to teach people about the dangers. It would make them think twice before using phones while crossing the street. —Lu Tao. China | Ontario already has a rule like this. My family strongly agree with it. Too many people can't put their phones down for 30 seconds when they cross a street. Most of them don't even look up to see the traffic lights. It's already illegal(违法的) in most places to use phones while driving. This is a good next step for us. —Judy. Canada |
1.Daniel thinks the rule is too strict.
2.In Lu Tao’s opinion, it's not easy to let people realize the danger of using phones while crossing streets.
3.In Ontario, people are not allowed to use phones while crossing streets.
4.Judy thinks using phones while crossing streets is more serious than using them while driving.
5.The reading is mainly about people's opinions on a new rule.
